need help..getting on air flight first time by myself please helpp?

Don't be nervous. I live in Oklahoma & my mom lives in Louisiana. I've flown down there and to texas so many times by myself and im only 14. I've been doing it since i was 10 or 11. It's actually quite fun. Taking off is the best part. Sometimes your ears can get stopped up. All you do to fix it is chew gum or yawn. It always works for me! You should always be at the airport at least an hour early, so you can check in, go through security, and find your gate. Don't pack any liquids/lotions/perfumes/shampoos in your carry on bag. They will just straight up throw it away. Put all of that in your suitcase that you check in. & ive never taken my straightner with me in my carry on bag before, but im pretty sure it would be fine. Hope this helped! :)

1) Your travel dates are too far away for any weather prediction to be accurate, so don't worry about the rain. It might rain, but it could also turn out to be a nice, calm day.

2) Rain by itself almost never causes a cancellation. Sometimes planes are held on the ground before takeoff to wait for a particularly heavy shower to pass by.

3) Same thing with thunderstorms. If one is nearby when landing, you may just fly in a circle for a while to wait until it passes, then you will land.

4) If your flight is delayed because of bad weather, there is nothing you can do except to be patient and to be glad that the air traffic control people are doing their job to make sure everyone arrives safely. Becoming upset or worried about something over which no one has any control is a waste of energy.

5) Your BF can check on Airtran's website to see if your plane has taken off from LGA, and when it is expected to arrive, so he can figure out when to leave to meet you at the airport. Since it is a non-stop flight, then you do not have to be concerned about missing a connecting flight - that's a very good thing.

6) Yes, you can take your hair straightener in your carry on - people do that all the time.

7) You can also take liquids in your carry on bag - shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste and so on. All of those items must be in containers that are 3.4 ounces or less (100 ml), and all of them must be together in a single, 1 quart, zip lock bag. When you get to the checkpoint, take that bag out of your carry on bag and put it into a bin, put your carry on bag onto the conveyor belt as well, a purse and coat and shoes can go into a bin, too.

I hope you find the flight to be enjoyable and trouble free.

flights are rarely, if ever canceled due to thunder storms. While in flight the Pilot can typically fly above the storms.

I'm not familiar with what a hair straightener is but if it's liquid it can't be over 3oz. and must be placed into a zip lock baggy which you will put into a bin at security along with your shoes,jacket,carry-on.

Enjoy your flight!

it's an adventure -something exciting, not frightening. your attitude change will help you enjoy the trip. pack a bag with some clothing applicable for the weather to check onto the flight & put your toiletries & other things for the flight itself in your small carry on bag.

a chum of mine had this adventure. The previous Stapleton airport in Denver grew to become right into a complicated place to land by using winds interior the mountains. My pal mentioned that as quickly as touchdown there, in undesirable climate, the airplane hit the floor and bounced back interior the to return down complicated back. whilst the airplane grew to become into on the floor and taxing to the terminal the pilot got here on with this remark "females and gents we've basically landed at Denver's Stapleton airport, two times."
